The mission of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) is to improve the lives of cancer patients by finding better ways to treat, control and cure cancer. CTEP accomplishes this mission by funding an extensive national program of cancer research and by sponsoring clinical trials to evaluate new anti-cancer agents, with a particular emphasis on translational research to 11 Describe the purpose of the system. elucidate molecular targets and mechanisms of drug effects. The NCI CTEP Enterprise System (CTEP-ESYS) is the repository for the information gathered and shared for these clinical trials.
The purpose of the CTEP-ESYS is to assure patient safety, meet the NCI CTEP scientific, administrative and operational program mission, and all regulatory requirements for NCI CTEP clinical trials. |
CTEP-ESYS collects, maintains, and shares administrative/ operational, scientific, safety and regulatory data related to clinical trials. Information is used to assure patient safety; for scientific decision making, study drug management, regulatory oversight; and to facilitate administrative operations.
The information that CTEP-ESYS collects, maintains or shares include investigators and clinical trial support staff information, patient data, protocol documents, clinical trial sites/networks information, disease information and Describe the type of information the system will classification, drug inventory, drug orders and drug shipments, 12 collect, maintain (store), or share.

This specifically covers the following: For Investigators: Name, Email Address, Mailing Address, Phone Numbers and Month/Year of Birth for contact and verification purposes. Employment Status, Employment History, Certificates and Education Records, Publications, Memberships, Honors, Medical Licenses, Clinical Trial Support History and Trainings to enable sponsor to determine that investigators are qualified to participate on a clinical trial per US FDA CFR.

For Patient Drug Orders: Patient identification (ID) and Patient Initial (two to three characters) are used for patient safety. Study drug repository prints patient specific study drug labels containing this information. Once study drug is labeled, it is shipped to the clinical network pharmacies where drug is dispensed/administered to the patients identified on the label. Patient ID and Patient Initials are used as a verification prior to dispensing/administering drug to the patients. For Patient Safety Reporting: Patient ID and Patient Month/ Year of Birth for adverse event reporting. The sponsor reviews this information in real-time to assure continuing patient safety for each clinical trial and meet US FDA CFR. For Demographics Analysis: Patient Zip Code and Patient Month/Year of Birth to be able to answer demographic queries. |
